How the team plays

Froslass (Mega) is the team's special attacker: Timid with Blizzard and Shadow Ball behind Protect, at 160 Special Attack. It also runs Raichu (Mega X) and Scovillain (Mega) as an alternative Mega: only one can Mega Evolve per battle.

Raichu (Mega X) provides Fake Out: that is how it gets the free turn without spending a setup move.

Froslass (Mega) is the fastest at 154 Speed, followed by Raichu (Mega X) at 143. It runs no speed control: it relies on hitting hard before the opponent moves.

Sneasler is the spread attacker: Rock Slide hits both foes at once.

The Ground, Fire and Psychic weaknesses are unresolved: no member resists Ground, 2 of the six are weak to Fire and Sneasler takes 4× from Psychic.

The spreads are the generic 32/32 ones and have not been tuned to specific benchmarks.

We build each spread against the most used Pokémon in the meta and around its teammates: the Speed that pays off most (counting the team's Tailwind or Trick Room) and just enough bulk to survive one or two hits from the threats no other member already handles, with the rest into attack. It's an estimate on the Pokémon Champions scale (0–32 per stat, 66 in total), because players don't publish their real spreads.
